Neil V. Getnick Authors Op-Ed on “Soar” in Whistleblower Cases
Live Science’s Expert Voices: Op-Ed and Insights today published an op-ed entitled “U.S. Whistleblower Cases Soar in Health and Pharma,” written by Getnick & Getnick managing partner Neil V. Getnick. Getnick writes that recent events, including statements by top enforcement officials in support of whistleblower laws, “show that the power of the whistleblower is on the rise.” In the wake of the ever-increasing impact of whistleblower laws, Getnick encourages companies to get out ahead with two “out-of-the-box” ideas:
Business Integrity in Healthcare Whistleblower Cases
First, embrace business driven integrity (recognizing that integrity is key to the company’s mission, acting as a profit center and a competitive advantage), rather than simply tolerating law-driven compliance; and second, recognize and use whistleblower laws as the friend of business helping honest companies to compete more effectively in both the domestic and global marketplaces.
